Re: [transcode-devel] A/V sync problem transcoding from .nuv to .mpeg

If I transcode to .mpeg (MPEG-1 or MPEG2) and play with mplayer, the sound is late by about a second at the start of the file and gets progressively worse as time goes on (sound seems to be getting later by 1 or 2 seconds per minute). Hmm. I'd rather hoped that I could ignore NUV and it would disappear entirely ;) but I do see the problem with your test video, so I'll take a look at the code and see what I can do. Thank you Andrew. Call me out-of-date (or whatever) but didn't the Nuppelvideo project eventually become the analogue video capture system for MythTV? As you rightly point out, I'm using files from the well-obsolete original Nuppelvideo project and I'll stop doing that as soon as I can find a better method! It seems for instance that 'transcode' has a "direct capture from V4L" mode, but I've not sussed it out as yet. Comments welcome. Would that give me a better route for digitising from analogue? (Sorry - that question ought to go on the -users mailing list. Off topic here.) Steve.
